Reward

Famous quotes containing the word reward:

    Faith is believing what you do not see; the reward of faith is to see what you believe.
    St. Augustine (354–430)

    That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
